Jean Goodman cedes most of this month's column's space to print a poem written by 12-year-old Lois Fishstein of New Rochelle, New York, called "May and Happiness." Although it isn't stated, this may have been the month's winning submission in the "Miss America" writing contest, because no other fan-submission appears in this issue.
